This is an italic serif with a consistent rightward slant, moderately tapered strokes, and subtly flared terminals that soften joins and endings. Serifs are bracketed and small, with a calligraphic feel in the way stems widen and narrow rather than staying purely mechanical. The lowercase shows fluid, compact forms with rounded bowls and gently angled stress; the italic ‘a’ and ‘e’ are single-storey, and the rhythm is lively without becoming overly sharp. Capitals are poised and relatively open, with restrained contrast and smooth curves that keep the texture even in setting. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with varying heights and a traditional, bookish cadence.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic with classical manners is desirable. The refined capitals and smooth word shapes also make it appropriate for invitations, cultural programs, and brand systems that need a traditional, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional editorial typography and cultured branding. Its slanted, tapered construction reads as expressive and human, conveying sophistication rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a calligraphic undercurrent—balancing moderate contrast and flared details to create an elegant, continuous text color.
In text, the font maintains an even gray value with noticeable motion from the italic angle and variable character widths. Terminals and joins tend to resolve in tapered, gently rounded shapes, which helps the face feel warm and continuous across words.
